6:00 pm
compassion. but we have placed on our shoulders unimaginable pain and to make of this world, a place of justice and peace true for our people, especially for our young. we thank you this night for our community leaders who have walked a dark road helping us find a light. we praise you for men and for women, in whose love for each other have given us children that we might guide and encourage them. we speak your wisdom as our administrators and our educators continue to teach our children ways that will strengthen them to be productive and positive citizens of this world, to only bring right and good, not harm or hurt. and we pray that this culture of death that is overshadowing our entire country, especially now, in this, our town will soon be replaced with a culture of life that embraces
6:01 pm
every person with human dignity. we have brought to you tonight in your prayer those we have lost, those whose hearts have been broken forever, we bring to you 20 new stars in the heavens, 20 new saints, 20 new angels, we bring to you those who risk their lives for us every day, not counting the cost and we bring to you those who guide, those who counsel, those who bless and embrace the confused and the broken. and now, in this prayer we bring to you ourselves, our brokenness, our questions, our doubts, our anger, and our hearts. and we pray for the peace, the hope, and the renewal of trust that can come only from a god who first conceived us in love and places a hand of
6:02 pm
compassion on everyone of our shoulders even in this challenging time. so tonight for our community, a community deeply pained, we ask you to heal the brokenness, to answer our questions, to replace our doubts with certainly, our anger with peace, and our hurt with healing. god we thank you for this town. we thank you for its people and we thank you for this opportunity to stand together and not to fall apart. amen. ... ... >> now a final blessing of hope through faith jesus christ in the words of saint john and st. paul. i heard a loud voice from the
6:03 pm
throne saying be hold the dwelling place of god is with man. he will dwell with them and they will be his people and god himself will be with them as their god. he will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more. neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away. he who was seated on the throne said, behold i am making all things new. now may the grace of our lord jesus christ and the love of god and the communion of the holy spirit be with you all. amen. i ask you to please take your seat until i can receive confirmation the president has safely exited the school campus.
6:04 pm
i don't know who that confirmation is. >> that is the interfaith vigil. rob morris of king lutheran church monsignor weise pastor of the catholic church there to the left side. the pastor actually of the catholic church in an interview he is going to have 7 funerals over the next couple days who he is going to preside over the catholic church starting tomorrow. the monsignor. as are many of those places of worship. this wraps up this vigil as you push in a the 26th candles. ed, your thoughts about the president we talked about how it wasn't going to be a policy
6:05 pm
about healing in this town. clearly there was a message here that the nation is not doing enough to keep kids safe while it wasn't specific in the policy prescriptions it was suggested. >> it certainly was. i went back to my notes one advisor told me before the speech is that it was not a policy symposium that it was going to be a speech that was going to be conducive to the venue of a prayer vigil. you are right. there wasn't any specific policy proposal. there was never the words gun control uttered. there was never assault weapons ban or anything specific like that. make no mistake he was referring specifically to the idea in the weeks ahead he would be talking to law enforcement officials and others about how we were going to better protect our children. what choice do we have? are we prepared to say we are too powerless to do something.
6:06 pm
and there weren't specific policy proposals. he made it quite clear in the weeks ahead he is planning to take dramatic action on this issue. as you know from hearing from mayor bloomberg they are going to hold their feet to the fire. that will be interesting in the days ahead. two other things one when the president was reading the names aged the reporters are saying they heard weeping and heaveing from adults who are hearing those children's names that is something that sticks with you. when he introduced to the president he told the governor that friday was the toughest day of his presidency. i have covered him for four years now think back to the war in afghanistan and the financial crisis depleted their finances and they have struggled in the
6:07 pm
unemployed et cetera, et cetera. tucson, aurora, wisconsin, many other shootings. the fact that he said friday was the worst day of his presidency tells you the depth of this terrible, terrible tragedy. >> and henry, thank you. it was a powerful speech. let's bring back our panel steve hayes, charles krauthammer. >> charles your thoughts? >> that was a highly political speech. the book ends were simplicity itself elegant given his understanding of the grief and sort of extending his condolences to the family and the nation. the middle part of that speech was a determination of this preside president>> he wrote a lot of this on his own. he didn't have to go through interagency consideration this is his commitment.
6:08 pm
it sounded like he's going to do something. it's almost like lbj after kennedy is killed and he said i am going to be the civil rights i am going to complete the civil rights. i hope it isn't only about gun control but i think he was announcing something serious was going to happen and it would come to him personally. >> we are not going to be powerless in the face of this karnage. what was disturbing to me out of this which otherwise was poetic speech he was going to act unilater unilaterally. may be wrong there weren't a lot of details in there but the energy will come out of the white house. unite this country around this rather than divide the country these are explosive issues we are talking about. you have to take of the heated waters and put it in consideration you have to bring
6:09 pm
parties to the table that aren't just the white house. you have to do it from the get go. >> are we doing enough to keep our children safe. the answer is no. i will be interested to find our what it is like for the speech. it is possible ed henry sees it one thing and saw families and heard from them maybe this was the type of thing they wanted to hear. maybe they wanted the president to step up and say enough is enough. we can't go on like this any more. i didn't take away he was going to act unilaterally. he don't know if it will be just on guns or mental illness. >> i think it is a turning point. he made unmistakably clear we have to make a change we can't tolerate this any more the tragedies must end. those are not things you can't go back from. you have to move forward.
6:10 pm
i thought he spoke effectively first as a father and then as a leader. i suspect i won't agree with some of his policy but it was an effective powerful speech. >> it was powerful. it was a powerful time to hear the kid's names read at the end and the sobbing in that room. just wrapped it up. that concludes fox news channel special coverage of the prayer service in new town connecticut. i am bret baier in washington. special report continues tomorrow 6:00 p.m. eastern. we will have this covered justice with judge janeane is live after the break.
6:11 pm
6:12 pm
6:13 pm
>> you were the director of security for the board of education which included a high school where the shooter attended as well as part of the same school district where these children, these innocent children were murdered along with many of their teachers. >> yes. >> as director of security you had occasion to meet and interact with many students. >> yes, most of them. >> and you did meet i believe several years ago the shooter in this case adam lanza. what were your impressions of him? >> i believe i first met him through the middle school prior to him coming into the high school. my impressions of him were very high in the beginning. he was a young man not unlike
6:14 pm
other young men but with a few disorders that had to be addressed. >> what kind of disorders? >> asburgers is out there. he was withdrawn and had difficulty interacting with other students. >> richard, when you say asbergers is out there, did you know that at the time? how old was he when you first met him? do you remember? >> 13shgs 14 years old in middle school. >> did any one mention that he was suffering from that issue? >> it would have been in the high school when he was coming into high school. >> you said it was reported that you were a tech club advisor. tell us about that. >> yeah, the school has clubs. i ran the tech club as the
6:15 pm
advisor of that club. he was part of that club. it was a large club we had in school. >> and what did people do in the tech club? >> video productions of every kind, basketball games, football games, sports, graduations, events in town, bit of radio station as well. >> so the kids in this club -- >> i am sorry, richard. >> that's okay. >> these kids didn't tin the clb were tech -- techy kids. >> how would you describe adam in particular? >> high-tech -- high intellectual techy who loved to be involved in the video productions, loved to be involved in all of the aspects that entailed camera work, audio, but the club itself was
6:16 pm
was a place to be long. >> did he need that? >> yes, he definitely needed that desperately. >> why do you say that? >> well, it goes back to saying that he was withdrawn most of the time, he was very quiet. in his freshman year he was very small in size and he had a lot of fear coming into the high school and interacting with other students. >> but did he have a reason to be fearful of the other students? was he picked on? >> not really, no. no. not really. newtown system itself is a very, very loving caring school. the administrators, the teachers, most of the students usually adopt kids younger than
6:17 pm
them. no, there wasn't. >> all right. richard did you have occasion to meet his mother during the time that he was in school, nancy lanza? >> yes, often. >> tell us about her. >> she was a great person. i liked her very, very much. she was the type of parent who interacted with her children, was deeply involved in the educational process. friends were probably chosen well. the activities she was involved in all of the time. >> how did see ahe and her son interact? >> tough to say. quite well. there was a difference between twot boys. one was out going and energeti adam was withdrawn and shy.
6:18 pm
the idea was to inject him into an environment where he would thrive and maybe grow and come out of his world. >> were you surprised when you heard all of this? >> shocked. i am still shocked. >> why? >> this is a boy who was more likely a victim which is why i would watch him very closely rather than be the person who victimized. i am shocked. >> friday morning just blew me away. i was busy with work and i fist received a text from my own son who attended the school systems. i really i do believe this could be possible.
6:19 pm
>> are you surprised the mom had so many guns? >> i am shocked. i am surprised she had that many guns. caused me to really rethink keeping me up at night wondering why i would not have envisioned her not only to have guns but the type of guns. >> we thank you so much for sharing your insight on the shooter and his mother. thank you for being with us this evening. >> thank you, judge. >> coming up tomorrow morning millions of children will go back to school. will they even be safe? can something like this happen again? later they say time heals all wounds, but how long will it take to heal after a tragedy like this.
6:20 pm
6:21 pm
6:22 pm
6:23 pm
(inaudible) >> tomorrow morning millions of children across america head back to school. their parents are now forced to wonder, is my child safe? with me is former nypd detective and school safety expert. thank you for being with us, harry. we know the sandy hook school system the elementary school in particular had measures in place for safety, and it is obvious to
6:24 pm
stop this crazed individual. he is evil. he did the devil's work. what can we do in schools to protect our children? >> they did have some plan in the school. we could probably tweak that, though. >> how? >> apparently the shooter got in through the glass door. what happens is he shot the glass door out and went inside. the class itself wasn't -- was very easily penetrated. he was able to access the school. so there's a couple different things we can do. >> what? >> something simple like put the bars on the doors. >> people say, harry that that's intimidating. you don't want metal detectors you don't want a cop with a gun. now you are talking bars. you believe this is something we need to do? >> i think that the lock down is probably the answer.
6:25 pm
>> describe a lock down. >> you do with your emergency action plan. it is basically locking down the school which they tried to do. they locked all of the doors. >> but the shooter is in the school. right, exactly. the shooter got into the school. if they had some kind of bars on that door maybe the shooter could not have gotten to the school. >> so let's accouple that there is this as you call safety or emergency action plan. that means that we have to train the teachers and efshl else. is this expensive? who pays for it in a world where the end of the fiscal cliff, how difficult is it? >> we know that schools aren't going to put 50,000 dollars into a security upgrade. something like this is easy to do. it is a little schooling. you can basically get a handyman to do some of the work to the windows and to the doors and you will have a he csecure school.
6:26 pm
what we need to do is have some type of an alarm where they know it is time for the lock down. >> everybody heard what was going on. >> what should parents do tomorrow morning should they call their school and say hey what is the safety plan for my child? >> that is something they should definitely do. i suggest parents call the school and ask them do you have an emergency action plan in effect in the school? if not, why? and if not, when? get together with the pta, then you can all get together talk with the school off fifsh shalls and police and put an emergency action plan together. lock down is very cost effective. >> what about children? when you say that we heard about the drills these children before, i use to do hide under the desk.
6:27 pm
my kids will say that's where they were written on the silk tablets. today the drill is simply to go out of the school? how do you prepare little kids without scaring them? >> for an active shooter you don't want the kids running out of school. they can run into the active shooter. you want to be able to lock down the classroom. if you can lock down the classroom, get the children down on the floor, take their desks lay them over get behind the desks lock the door so the shooter doesn't gain access to that. the first two or three minutes of an active shooter incident is the deadliest. what we want to do is we want to slow him down so that if we slow him down the police can respond and then the police can deal with him. >> very quickly, you were a detective, homicide detective at nypd. these guns we were hearing about the gloch the bushmaster a lot
6:28 pm
of viewers don't know what they are capable of. a semiautomatic they are talking about 30 rounds to a clip. how quickly can that go off? >> you have the bushmaster. >> which is right on the screen right there. >> you have the 223 or 2.56 round military round. you can empty a 30 round clip in less than 15 seconds if you are really trained to do that. >> that is scary. >> they said there were hundreds of rounds. obviously 30 round clip hundreds of rounds that means he was reloading. >> in all cases this quick, bam, bam. >> appreciate it. thank you for your expertise. do we spend too much time trying to understand what to me is simply and purely evil? and later, does faith, religion and belief in god hold a key to

6:33 pm
grips with the unimaginable. the question really is how will we even begin to heal. with me clinical psychologist author of inside the criminal mind and psychologist dr. roby ludwig. >> you saw that it is heartbreaking the father of a 6-year-old thwho basically for gives he is not angry. how does a parents do that? >> he wasnhasn't gotten in touc with his anger. it is something he will have to deal with. his whole life was turned upside down. his daughter's life was robbed from her. o so of course there's anger. there's a healthy component. if you get stuck in the anger that is when it is not healthy. you can hear the father's instincts are really good. he's keeping his daughter's memory alive making the memory
6:34 pm
vivid for the whole world to experience. that's the first healthy step many of the parents are going to need to do. >> when i was reading about the children, there is one of the children noah who is going to be buried tomorrow. he has a twin sibling. she was in another classroom. how does she at this young age, she won't really completely understand it, but at some point will she have what's called survivor's guilt? >> we don't have the answers to everything that happens in life. we don't know why childrertain e survive and certain people don't. perhaps her role can be in trying to make this a positive for herself. give her brother's life some meaning. who knows, maybe she will end up being a defense attorney one
6:35 pm
day. >> maybe a prosecutor. >> i tachange my statement. >> doctor, you are very familiar with the criminal elements who basically refuses to be caught in a trap of labelling these people who are killing under the gooidz of a mental illness. >> the talk about autism and the shooter lacking social skills. do you realize every one of these shooters has been described as a loaner and with drawn. you know why that is? because these are people who don't want others to know them. these are people who are secretive. these are people who have a lot going on in their minds that they will not announce to others. they simply don't have social skills because they don't care about social skills. their view of life is they are the hub of the wheel everything must revolve around it.
6:36 pm
we put labels on trying to explain the unexplainable and there by create more excuses. >> doctor as someone who tried a lot of criminal cases murder chases insanity defenses i never thought the issue of insanity which people will surely come upon in the near future as it relates to this case has anything to do with the fact of what was done. and so the labelling of asperger's which i have seen it used in other homicide cases is almost an excuse. people say oh but he was smart. that's almost an excuse as well. >> the fact that the perpetrator was smart makes for a wonder rl cover. if you are smart, a brainiac i believe he was called that makes it easier to get a pass for others to focus on how bright the person is. there are people who said to me to kill somebody you have to be
6:37 pm
insane. you have to look at the facts of the case. how the shootings were committed how purposeful, how rational and deliberate brat they were. >> spinning off of it you have a guy who shoots his own mother in the face, shoots her four times. what is he so angry about? >> we don't know. but clearly there was a contentious relationship between him and his mother. >> we heard about from the teacher, i believe four years back maybe three years back is the mother cared about him and cared about him. >> she may have. interpersonal relationships between a mother and a child can be very conflicted. perhaps her son got worse as time went on. he was out of control. it sounds like for some reason they were too isolated that the mother and son had too much time together. i don't know how much outside intervention she asked for.
6:38 pm
sounds like she home schooled him. >> i have a few seconds before we go to break. the idea of a mother knowing her son had problems and then taking him to a gun range, having these high powered weapons and clips obviously. a glock and a bushmaster which is like an ar 15 assault rifle. what was she thinking? >> you don't have to have a ph.d. to say it doesn't sound like a good idea. even if she sought help for him, we don't know if she did or not. it's hard to get help for a kid like this, to de catain a kid t get adequate treatment it is very hard in the year 2012 to do that. >> doctor, both of you stay with us. coming up this week the burials will start. how can a parent possibly heal from such a traumatic event. later the role of religion and

6:42 pm
davino. >> she heard everything the shots and the doors slamming and people yelling. she just wanted to come home. her heart was racing. she was scared. >> the first funeral for one of the young angels killed in the shooting is set for tomorrow. 6-year-old noah pozner will be laid to rest in fairfield, connecticut. with me is grief counselor robinwoodman and dr. sam now is still with us. talk to me about this week parents bauurying their childre. it's counter indue tive that's supposed to be the other way. >> what happens is they feel like it should have been them. there's nothing worse for a parent to go through.
6:43 pm
and at this point when you are seeing these parents are in shock, they are numb, they are overwhelmed with their feelings. they may not even feel their feelings. they have been almost disassociated with their feelings. you talk to people at this stage and they will tell you like they are going through the motions and they are like a robot. actually sometimes it's the people around them that are literally kind of carrying through these very difficult steps. >> how do they come out of it? when do you get out from under the cloud? you have other children at home. children who are suffering as well. >> sometimes that's what brings you at least into living. it doesn't necessarily bring you into a full happy life because there's a whole that really doesn't get filled but what they do is find a way eventually if they can to have their grief track in their life and then the living track of their life. and they sometime have to keep a foot in both worlds and
6:44 pm
eventually the living part can get bigger. >> you do this for a living. you recommend the parents who are burying their children that they get counseling, stay in touch and not be withdrawn and what else? >> well, i think what you see over time is that everybody has a different reaction. there aren't stages of grief. it is through out your life. it involves stages. at a certain time your friends children are graduating from high school and yours aren't. you start to pay attention to how you are doing. there are a certain number who need specific help to help them learn how to cope and actually can be very successful with and find some kind of meaning and new people in their life. >> they talk about post traumatic stress syndrome in wars. these kids have seen hell a lot of them.
6:45 pm
>> they were in a mini war when you think about it. the rampage. when i first heard the news i was like is this another terrorist attack. it almost sounded like that. what post traumatic stress disorder is having oo frightene. we usually walk around thinking we are safe and the world is safe. there is a recognition the world is no longer safe or in your control. >> we heard last night about a child who was afraid to have her father leave her side for good reasons. >> there will be regression, nightmares sometimes panic attacks. fear to go near the school, to be separated from a parent. maybe to have sleep overs. so parents can just be aware of this work with their pediatrician. sounds like the town is really helping out and being a resource for the entire community. >> the question that -- the bigger question is how does the town heel? >> it was put together.
6:46 pm
don't you think they have each other? being connected to each other. also not tomorrow not just next week but it is over many months so you keep reaching out so these people don't feel alone. >> there was no question that everyone in that town was affected in one way or another. how hard is it to identify one who might commit a crime like this? >> i don't know about that but these individuals are like little terrorists or big terrorists. they live in their families and their parents and others spouses and adults they are afraid of them. it is difficult to get people like this to stay in hell to detain them. let me tell you there is no pill that is going to cure this
6:47 pm
position. there might be a prayer but people who are evil are not amenable to mental health professionals. the illness conversation on america which i thought was excellent. there is talk you can't get help unless they start committing crimes. >> this is after they committed a crime. you are absolutely correct getting them help before that is like climbing mount everest barefoot. >> we need to talk about the deeper issues so we don't have this happen a year from now. we don't know what the cause for these spree killings really is. >> all of the burials as a country how do we deal with that. my heart breaks. i ha
6:48 pm
i am a mother. i have seen child abuse and homicide cases. this one just breaks your heart. >> i think what you do is you pay attention to the people that are right in your world to help them with this and also learn to be he knows is tive to the other people who also need extra help. >> great panel dr. leslie, dr. good man and dr. stabenow. these are without a doubt the most difficult of times. can faith heal all wounds?

>> let the little children come to me jesus said. do not hinder them. for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven. god has called them all home.
6:52 pm
may god bless and keep those we have lost in his heavenly place. may he grace those we still have with his holy comfort. >> with me is jack monday a member of billy graham's rap hid response team and jarrod murray past fore pastor of holy family parish. >> i am going to start with you. you were part of billy graham's rapid response team. i understand your team arrived in newtown on friday the very g day this happened. tell us what you saw? >> yes, after arriving we made contact with the state police and the fire here in newtown. because of our chaplain having a police back ground and fire background they were welcomeled immediately at the volunteer fire departments and escorted to the emergency operations center.
6:53 pm
>> and jack you do this regularly as parted of this response team you go all over the country. >> actually, we have been doing this since september 11th we have responded to 154 disasters ten of which have been on mass shootings. >> i am going toing to you father murray. thank you so much for being with us today. i guess the question we all ask is an all knowing powerful loving god allow this to happen. >> the way i look at the question is, if you want to know what the world is like without god this is an example. this man turned away from god obviously and did something tremendous. killing your own mother and killing innocent children so against nature completely against the ten commandments. god is not responsible for this.
6:54 pm
